So those who like to play around may correct CA, stitch, add Zenith and nadir by masking, try different
pitch settings to experiment with the quality of the zenith without an extra zenith shot for use with R1 for example.

For newbies, walking through control points set automatically in PTGui to learn about stitching errors related to missing CP not being placed in important areas Cp being set automatically. Plus at the end, trying to set up a template with my sets which at the end have to be revised with their own camera lens combinations.

But I feel, it might give some help to avoid frustration with the first fisheye panos using a "raw template'.

Download will take its time, because of Raw data included. Each camera set around 1.5 to 2 GB.

I still did not succeed with D300s to upload, still got errors 100 after hours of uploading.

Because I had problems with uploading getting a lot errors 100 from apple - per accident I deleted D90 segment, shit happens - I decided to go through the time to make a new setup. I just set up different maps for camera bodies, so when upload is ready, you can choose in a single body to just upload the lens you are interested in.

Orange spots are laser placed, besides those on the ground, so I personally feel this is a place to set up templates for my camera lens combination. A set up to compare, play around, for others to set up a basic template for their own combi. Or just for info.

So it will take some time to upload the different maps, I will try hard.

Thx. This is to give people a chance, to play around with a small set of pics to stitch, Jpeg or RAW, set up a "pre template" with this set, to stitch at R1 settings with +5° and +7.5°, by this you can check the quality of zenith area at these settings, to stitch at 0° plus one shot at +60° instead of a zenith to get horizon connection, for newbies who like to decide what lens to see the differences, and may be they like to play around while waiting for ordered equipment and testing software trial versions.

I have chosen this room cause I could easily place dots on laser lines in vertical and horizontal to step into the corner of the fisheye lenses for better templates.

A lot of discussions in several forums, which lens, FX DX, shaved lenses on FX etc.

That's why. To try to give people help for decision. Difference in resolution, but difference in more shots, 4/6/8, and the difference in amount of time to finish a panorama. Cheap lens, Samyang to Sigma 8mm etc.
